SAN FRANCICSO — Judging by the caliber of the defense counsel they’ve hired, Uber Technologies and a group of former executives appear to be taking a new lawsuit brought by a woman raped by an Uber driver in New Delhi in 2014 seriously.
Uber reportedly paid $3 million to settle claims brought on behalf of the Jane Doe plaintiff by lawyers at Wigdor LLP in New York and Yuhl Carr in San Diego in a prior lawsuit against the company. But the Wigdor lawyers teamed up with San Francisco Anderson & Poole to file a new lawsuit in June for invasion of privacy and defamation claims after reports surfaced that Uber executives obtained and reviewed the victim’s medical records.
